Hong Kong and mainland Chinese residents will have to register with immigration authorities on both sides of the border to use automated “joint clearance” channels at the revamped Huanggang Port crossing, with around 100,000 travellers a day expected to use the control point when operations begin.
Hong Kong’s Immigration Department would deploy sufficient manpower to help passengers register at the checkpoint, assistant director Jacky Wong Ki said on Tuesday.
“The whole registration process at the automated channel is very quick, it takes a few seconds to complete,” Wong said.
The “joint clearance” model will enable passengers to complete both departure and entry clearance procedures by presenting one identity document required by their destination and passing through a three-gated automated channel.
